2011 Year End Blowout Extravaganza! Posterized: Movies Watched March/April

Reminder from yesterday's post:

-Only films watched from beginning to their end count. So if I turned on HBO and caught say Listen to Me at the 20 minute mark and watched the rest of the film, it is not eligible. Neither would Left Behind: World at War be if I started to watched it and Jesus came down to earth to receive his follows up to the bosom of heaven, thus interrupting the broadcast with 10 minutes remaining. However, if I went to the cinema to see Like Father, Like Son at a repertory screening at the New Beverly, and watch the film from start to finish, then it does count.

-TV movies count, but TV series do not, even special two parters (but for shits and giggles, and since I watched my fair share of television as well, I am including the TV series whose seasons I watched in their entirety at the end of each entry. Remember, some of these I started pre-2011)

-I count each movie I see as a viewing, so if I watched Mamma Mia! ten times, that counts as ten viewings! AND DON’T JUDGE ME!!!!!

-Presentation became a point of contention for some films, so here’s what I decided, if the film was presented in separate intervals like Carlos, which was separated by Netflix into three nearly two hour segments with credits, it counted as three films. However, when I saw the Kill Bill: Whole Bloody Affair cut, it only counted as one film, despite its previous split incarnation

Films in italics are films that I would rate a B+ or higher on the ol’ grading system, or 4 or more stars on the 5 star system

And finally for films whose year of release is written this way (2010/11) the first is the year of the film’s premiere release (or for foreign films, year of release in their country) the second is the American release date, for year end lists, since I am American at least until Alvin and the Chipmunks 4: Chipocalypse Now premieres, I go by the second date.

Films in italics are films that I would rate a B+ or higher on the ol' grading system, or 4 stars or more on a 5 star scale.

And for films whose year of release is written like this...(2010/2011), the first year is the year of the film's premiere release (either at a festival or for foreign films, the year of their release in their particular country), the second year is the American release date. For year end lists, since I am an American at least until Rick Santorium is our president, I go by the second date.
